PRICE OF STOCKS THIS TAN , Al TWeIL.V6 n'ecncK. ggi Red. Ann. , 6911 I Ornium - This morning it was very confidently reported upon 'Change, that a battle had been fought in Por tugal. The report originate(' in a letter from a Gen tleman of respeaability at, Portsmouth, which men tions the arrival of a foreign vessel from Corunna, which place she left on the 24th ult. The Captain states, that hefote he sailed, positive intelligence had reached Corunna that a great battle had been fought between Lord WELLINGTON and MASSENA. The battle is said to have commenced on the 19th, and was continued on the loth, and finally terminated in the total defeat of the French, with the loss of near 20,000 men, in' killed, wounded, and prison ers, and the greater part of their artillery. The loss on the part of the English and Portuguese is stated to have amounted to 8000 men. Previous to the battle, the Marquis de ROMANA is said to have efleaed a junaion with Lord WELLINGTON. We do not pledge ourselves for the truth of the above tepOrt, but there ate many circumstances which give it probability. It certainly was very strongly re ported at Lisbon on the 23d, that a great battle had been fought. This morning we received German Papers to the gth ult. The intelligence they contain is very un important. A letter from Scilla, of the date of the toth of June, states, that the Neapolitan Flotilla h;id obtained a viaory over the Biiiish Flotilla, which was much superior in point of numbers. We 11.4ve had so many accounts of similar triumphs of the Neapolitan M. rine, that we do not think it ne cessary to tire our readers with this account. A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning, but it The following Letter from Lieut. BANKES, rela tive to the capture of the convoy from the Baltic, was transmitted by Rear Admiral Sir EDMUND NAGLE to the Admiralty, and from thence this morning to LLOYD'S "His Majesty's Gun-Brig Forward, " I beg leave to acquaint you, that on the 19th inst. standing to the Westward with a convoy of 42 vesselS (eleven of which had only been furnished with instructions) the Naze of Norway bearing g or g leagues; at two .A.M. I discovered seven vessels standing E.S.E. which I at first sup posed to be a convoy ; but, at 2. 30. perceived that NAVAL NEWS five of them were brigs of tvar, and accordingly made No. 275 . to then:, but finling they could not answer the signal, I concluded they were Danes, and immediately made the signal to the convoy for an enemy being in sightwand to haul to the wind on the larboard tack, and stand to the Eastward ; upon which the brigs - hoisted their colours, tacked, and made all sail in chase of us, firing guns among the convoy, all of which immecLitely brought to, with• out making the least exertion to escape. " At 3. 40. convinced that , the very superior force of the enemy rendered it impossible for me to afford the smallest proteEtion to the convoy, and being at the same time closely presSed by three of the brigs, which I conceived frOro their manoeuvres were fully determined to close with us, and finding their shot reach us, I cat away one of my anchors, and blew away my stern boat in using the stern chasers, and after a cannonade of an hour and a half, the leading brig wearing a broad pendant, huffed to, giving us their broadside which was followed by the other two, after which they stood in to the convoy. As I still conceived it possible to recover many of the con voy with some assistance; and as two convoys were in sight from the mast-head, one of which Was .standing to the Westward under- the Solebay, with -which I had parted company the preceding evening, and the other standing to the Eastward, which I af terwards found to be under the Ilete, I stood to. wards them, shewing No. 457, and firing guns. At 9 ',spoke the Ilete, who direled me to accompany' his convoy and put myself under his orders. "II have the honour to be, &c. " H. BANKES." To Sir Edmund Nagle, Bart. The following account has been communicated to us, from a quarter on which we place great reliance, but we trust, for the honour of huinan nature, that it will turn out to be rather exaggerated. An American ship, which sailed lately from a port in the North, was boarded by one of our cruizers. There were several foreign passengeys on board the vessel, and some other suspicious circuni stances concurring, the Commander of the cruizer thought it proper to send her to a British port for investigation, and he accordingly put a Midshipman and five or six men on board h , r, with direlilions to carry the vessel to the nearest British port. As soon, hoWever, as the American vessel was out of sight of the British cruizer, the crew and the pas sengers, among whom were four Danes, rose upon out men, disarmed them, and threw the Midship man overboard ; but being a good swimmer, he re gained the 'ship, and clung to the side ; he was taken on board, but, shocking to relate, he was again thrown into the sea. He however regained the ves sel a second time, and' was hauled upon deck. He was then pinioned and lashed to the ring-bolts. The men were also lashed to the deck. The American Captain then ordered the small boat to be lowered down, forced the Officer and seamen into it, with only a little water and a few bisCuits, and two ,oars, and turned them adrift, above forty miles from shore. Two of the men who were unwilling to get into the boat were, we understand, stabbed, but not so as to endanger their lives. They remained above four teen hours in this miserable cockle-shell of a boat, in momentary expeetation of perishing, when they were fortunately picked up by an English merchant man, and brought to England. In about half. an hour after they were picked up, a heavy gale came on, in which they must inevitably have perished. PLYMOUTEr, JULY 313.—Art'ived bis IThijesty's ship President, of 38 gnus, Capt. A.
